WHAT DIRECTION TO FACE NOW?
A canoe without a paddle will stay still on water or at least not go where it should go. We cannot fold our arms and watch what we have been taken from us.
"If you cannot have what you want, you should keep what you have. Destine gives no room for alteration" goes a saying hanging in my father's living room since I was a little boy. I had no idea what this meant back then, but the word remain glued to my heart.
You live in Lagos and can't afford to eat twice daily, going to work each day cost you fortune and you hardly communicate with your people, not that you don't want to but you are being afraid they might ask you for help. Be it monetary or other ways like accommodating them.
While some reside in Abuja and live like church rats that have nothing but beautiful things surrounding it but can't use any.
I will rather be a king in the jungle than to live as a slave in the city. So many people out there believe that there's money in the city. Of course there is, plenty of it though but do people think about the pain that comes with the monies in the city; unbearable hardship, turmoil and suffering that comes with getting the money. Those that have the money work there ass off getting it and it is survival of the fittest.
Time wait for nobody and as precious as it is, it can be lost forever. I took my time to observe few set of people around me(I mean people that lives in my neighbourhood), most of them are not living the suppose dream life they dreamt of living. According to a research, 99% of people having one job or the other are not happy with what they are doing. There is no fulfillment and this has been a major cause of frustration in many house holds. You hear different stories of husband bullying the wife, beating their children over unreasonable things. I'm asking, 'who's fault is this'?
The Country, the Masses, Economy or what?
A popular saying by Delwin James "Many times I've failed, many times I've tried, many times I've tried running away from all the miseries of life, all the pain and disappointment. But I realise the farther I go, the Deeper I launch into my past. So i've learnt to fight the system because I don't need fixing, the system does."
